Potter expressed his disappointment, stating, "Unfortunately, the game isn't just 85 minutes long. It's 95 or 100 minutes, and in those final minutes, we made mistakes that cost us the game."

He acknowledged that the players and staff were feeling devastated in the dressing room, struggling to understand how they had let the game slip away. Despite their efforts, Potter emphasized that the team had not been good enough in several areas.

"We've been having a tough season, and many things have gone wrong for us," he said. "We've had to deal with a lot of setbacks, and it's been challenging. Sometimes, when you're in a difficult situation, everything that can go wrong does go wrong."

Potter pointed out that Brighton's two goals came from long distances, which is not common, and that the team switched off at a crucial moment, allowing Brighton to take the lead.

"We need to look at ourselves and see where we can improve," he said. "We have to do better, and we have to work harder to get the results we want."

Potter also acknowledged that the team is struggling to sustain their effort over the full 95 minutes of the game. He emphasized that the players are doing their best, but it's not enough to get the desired results.

"We're feeling the pain of this loss, and we have to work together to get out of this difficult situation," he said. "We have to acknowledge the positives, but it's hard to feel positive when we're not getting the results we want."

Potter concluded by stating that the team is working hard to improve and that they will fight to the end to get the points they need.
